Cool Wade! If I can ever get to the point where my BG is uniform
between images I'd like to try one of those. Good job.

Subject: [APML] Comet Machholz
Composite
Well, I'm getting really close to the end of posting "new"
Comet
Machholz images (i.e. I only have one or two more). Since I
had
several nights when I took an image of the comet using the
Pentax
165mm f/2.8, I decided to try a composite. As can be easily
seen,
especially in the far left corner, this is my first composite.
As
the weeks go by, I'll probably try to create a better image
(i.e.
more subtle transitions between each separate image). In
addition,
the stars embedded in the coma are unrealistic so I'll have to
think
of a good way to get rid of them. Nonetheless, it does show
its
track across the sky over nine days. In addition, it shows just
how
crucial a clear, transparent night was needed in order to
capture
its ion tail. The transparency improved with each night,
reaching a
maximum on February, 9 2005.
